vest in Our Soil and Climate.
While the majority of people may
not realize it but it is nevertheless
fact that there is quiet but grow
ing excitement over sagebrush land
in Nevada and the rush for realty at
the Land Office keeps the clerks
working night and day.
CALIFORNIA GETTING IN.
The land boom in California has
set lots OF speculative men thinking
and now the orders for land are
coming in from California from men
who have realized what a pile of
money can be made in land pur-
chased at $1.25 an acre from the
Government and inside of ten years
sold for 5000. When NJ. Cohn,
who is persistent land boomer, was
in Sacramento few days ago he
was talking with Mr.. Lubin of
Weinstock & Lubin, when he assert
ed that seven tons of alfalfa could
be raised to the acre in Nevada.
Mr.. Lubin offered to bet 500 that
the statement could not be proved
and Cohn had the money up like a
flash. Lubin began to weaken
when Cohn offered to leave it to
Albert Crane, who had seen the
yield. Crane was found at the
Fair, and when he corroborated
Cohu, Lubln said, "I want some of
that land" and gave an order for
the purchase of 1000 acres.
Several more men Clipped in and
the Wild Bros. of San Francisco
came into the pool and the result
was that Cohn came back commits
stoned to buy 5000 acres of sage
brush land
IN CARSON VALLEY.
Several old ranchers in Carson
Valley have been caught mapping
lately. Years ago they took up
small tracts and fenced in larger
ones but not entering over ten per
cent. of the land they used. Last
week several. thousand acres were
taken up by Carson people and
they Sliced out large tracts of land
which had been fenced years ago,
but not entered, because the owner
thought nobody would ever think of
taking it up. During the last few
days the Carson Valley ranchers
have wakened up to the fact that
their land is being entered and they
have been doing some lively work
at the Land Office proving up land
and saving their broad acres.
WATER,
The water question cuts a large
figure. 1t is now pretty certain that
the tunneling of Tahoe will come
about before many years and when
this is done every acre of land in
Carson Valley will be worth from
800 to 5000 and then will come
repetition OF the land excitement
that is now making land men rich
in California. The knowing ones
are taking up land wherever they
can get it, knowing that the time is
not far off when they will realize
handsomely.
Mclaughlin & Hawkins have
orders for artesian wells all over
the valley and hundreds are wait
ing to see what success attends the
sinking of deep well on John Ros-
ser's place. The striking of good
flow there will double the price of
land all over Carson Valley.
ABOUT CARSON.
All the land within a mile or two
of Carson has been located during
the last 80 days. Tho islands of
acres have been located that were
vacant for years The APPEAL has
told the people of this section for
five years that the boom was COM
ing and it feels rather pleased to
know that its predictions are about
to be verified. Nevada is on the
eve of sssoil and climate" boom
and it is not far off.
